Georgia voters are participating in a primary election to determine the Republican nominee for a Senate seat. The contest is marked by a division in endorsements from key Republican leaders.
Former President Trump has publicly endorsed Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) as his preferred candidate for the GOP Senate nomination. This move places Trump, who is described as the undisputed leader of the Republican Party, on one side of the contest.
In contrast, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) is backing former college football coach Derek Dooley. This creates a direct clash of support between Trump and Kemp regarding the selection of the Republican candidate for Senate.
